“We are presently completing work on the project. We are also working to provide appropriate equipment for the museum. We have a fully scanned version of the Vardzia complex. We will offer only ten sites this year, but will increase this number gradually. It will be available for visitors to fully explore Georgian historical sites” – says Nikoloz Antidze.

Places like Mutso, Uplistsikhe, Gergeti Church are included within the 10 sites.

According to Nikoloz, the agency will initially manage the museum, pending a hand over when a suitable company is identified.

“We should offer high quality service to visitors, so we are discussing options with several organizations. However no final decision has been made about the management issue” – says Nikoloz.

The current investment cost of the project has been covered by the agency’s own resources. The project does not require large amounts of money, so contributions from the state budget is not necessary.
